Grau San Martin Tries to Establish Government for
Cuba— Four More States for Prohibition
Repeal— Blue Eagle Notes.

IT T IN G precariously on the edgs
S of the Cuban Presidential chair
to which he had been hotated by the
radical Junta. Ramon Graa San Mar
tin endeavored ear
nestly to maintain hla
balance and to estab
lish a government so
solid that It would be
given recognition by
the United States. On
all sides he was beset
with difficulties and
threats.
In the big
National hotel were
the deposed army and
navy officers, heavily
Ramon Qrau
armed and supported
San Martin
by the more conserv-
tlve factions that favored the return
to power of De Cespedes whom the
radicals had shoved out. In the har
bor of Havana and elsewhere about
the Island were American warships, em
bodying the possibility of armed Inter
vention by Uncle Sam If conditions be
came too chaotic. In the capital city
and other centers new political and
revolutionary factions formed nightly,
and various strikes complicated the
situation. Money, food and gasoline
for the troops that were supporting
Grau San M artin were running low,
and merchants were refusing credit.
Nevertheless, the President, who Is
a more forceful figure than De Cespe
des, carried on bravely and proceeded
to select a cabinet Posing and speak
ing for the talkies, he declared: “At
last Cuba Is again free among civi
lized nations of the world. Cuba now
has a stable government all that we
need for prosperity, and we hope that
prosperity will come quickly."
The ousted military officers, who had
taken entire possession of the National
hotel and were beleaguered there by
the radical soldiers, sent Col. Horatio
Ferrer, secretary of war and navy un
der De Cespedes, to the Presidential
palace to demand the Immediate resig
nation of Grau San Martin, but he
met with no success. Meanwhile the
entire staff of the hotel left and the
officers were forced to run the place
themselves. Ambassador Welles, who
had resided In the hotel, also departed.
ASHINGTON, of course, was
watching the developments In
Cuba with deep Interest, not to say
anxiety, but President Roosevelt was
determined to avoid Intervention If
possible. Through Secretary of State
H ull he Indicated that he would fol
low a line of strict neutrality among
the island's factions and would permit
Cuba to solve her own political prob
lems. Mr. H u ll’s formal statement
was:
“The government of the United
States has no interest in behalf of or
prejudice against any political group
or independent organization which Is
today active In the political life of
Cuba."
Former President Mario G. Menocal.
who returned to Cuba after the ousting
of Machado, entered Into the picture
when the military officers Invited him
to lead their effort to force Grau San
M artin out of the Presidency.
W
OR several days Spain was with
F out a cabinet, following the oust
ing of the pro-Sociall8t government of
Premier Manuel Azana, and the situ
ation w a s critical.
However, P re s id e n t
ZamSra called In Ale
jandro Lerroux, vet-
er, and charged him i
to form a coalition
cabinet based solely
on the Radical party
and the Independent
republicans. This Ler-
r o u x
accomplished
with some difficulty,
Alejandro
persuading all the mi
Lerroux
nority r e p u b l i c a n
groups to support him, although two
of their leaders, Salvador de Madariaga
and Felipe Sanchez Roman, had re
fused to sign up. Lerroux selected a
cabinet that was approved by Presi
dent Zamora. O f its thirteen mem
bers, six are members of the Radical
party, which Is really the most con
servative party In the country, so the
government has taken a decided turn
to the rig h t Lerroux and his govern
ment may have considerable difficulty
in the cortes, for the Socialist left
and the monarchist right will be
Strong In opposition.
One thing the Spanish government
has to cope with Is the great crime
wave that Is sweeping over the coun
try. Murders, bombings and Incendiary
fires have been frequent and the police
and civil guards so far have been un
able to check the outrage«. Many of
the erimee are attributed to Commu
nists.
IR A Q was In deep mourning for King
a Felsal, who died suddenly in Berne,
-Switserland. His son, Ghasl, twenty*
one years old, was declared bis suc
cessor and took the oath of office at
Basrah. Ha retained his father's cab

C'OUR more states fell Into line for
repeal of the Eighteenth amend
ment, making twenty-nine that so far
have voted, with none In opposition.
Only seven more are needed for the
ratification of the amendment, and
now not even the most confirmed pro
hibitionists believe the wet wave can
be pushed back. It Is a moral certain
ty that repeal will be accomplished be
fore Christmas.
Maine, stronghold of prohibition
since 1851, proved her change of heart
by voting more than 2 to 1 for repeal.
The wets carried every county and
their 80 delegates will take formal
action in convention on December 6.
Then, all in one day. came Maryland,
nearly 5 to 1 for repeal; Minnesota,
where the wets outnumbered the drys
more than 2 to 1; and Colorado, where
the repealists won by nearly 3 to L
FORK city staged a huge NRA
x ’ parade, and as a preliminary Ad
ministrator Hugh Johnson, addressing
a mass meeting. Informed the nation
that 85 per cent of the employers In
the United States were already en
rolled under the blue eagle. He at
tacked critics of the NRA. which he
declared was “not an attempt at regi
mentation of Industry, but a charter of
freedom." and asserted the country
had been lifted “about one-quarter of
the way out of the Inky blackness of
last March."
While General Johnson was strug
gling In Washington to formulate a
code that would be accepted by the
soft coal Interests. President Roosevelt
was endeavoring. In a conference with
the heads of each of the recovery
units, to push ahead three of the major
parts of his program— expansion of
credit. Insurance of bank deposits and
control of the oil Industry.
Aid for the small business man. who
still Is having trouble with his credit
arrangements now Is the central ques
tion in the government’s credit prob
lem. according to Jesse H. Jones,
chairman
of
the
Reconstruction
Finance corporation, who attended
the conference. Large Industries are
finding accommodations, he said.
Banks In small towns must he con
vinced that loans are now feasible, ac
cording to Mr. Jones. They are still
hanging back and not helping the
merchants and Industries In their com
munities, Mr. Jones said.
Mr. Jones repeated his threat that
the government plans to take over
functions of hanks through the me
dium
of
mortgage
corporations,
formed among industries for the dis
counting of paper with the R. F. C.
This device, he said, would clear up
the remaining credit difficulties In the
road of the recovery drive.
Secretary Iekes. after his conference
with the President, said that the price
fixing provisions would remain In the
oil code, but that he would not at
tempt to regulate prices until such a
step became necessary.
In another conference, plans to col
lect a billion dollars In back taxes due
the federal government were laid be
fore President ’Roosevelt by Guy T.
Helvering, commissioner of Internal
revenue.
Of the total due, $750,WO,MO is tied
up In litigation which the government
is seeking to speed. Helvering ex
plained. because tax payers are seek
ing to have It refunded to them. An
other $250,0M,0M has not been paid
In. Assured by the President of a suf
ficient fund to carry on the work, Hel
vering said he hoped to round up
$300,0M.0M in the near future with
out great difficulty. No prosecutions

Nazis have compelled Prof. Al
bert Einstein to revise In part hla long
held pacifist attitude. Hla altered
views appeared In a
letter to a Belgian an
ti-m ilitarist who ap
pealed to him to help
two Belgian consci
entious objectors to
military service who
had started a hunger
strike.
“You will be very
astonished at what I
am goln„ to tell you."
Professor R I n s t e I u
wrote. “Only a short
ago we could hope to fight
militarism In Europe successfully by
Individual refusals to do service. But
today we are In the presence of al
together
different
circumstance«.
There Is In the center of Europe a
state (Germany) which Is publicly
preparing for war by all means.
“In these conditions the Latin coun
tries, above all France and Belgium,
are In great danger and can only
count on tbetr preparedness.
“As far a * Belgium Is concerned It
Is obvious that this little country will
not make abusive u m of Its prepara
tion and that It has the greatest need
to safeguard Its existence.
“Imagine Belgium occupied by pres-
ent-day Germany! It would undoubt
edly be worse than In 1914, even
though occupation at that time was
terrible.
That Is why I am telling
you in the most direct fashion that
If I were a Belgian I would not re
fuse to do military service under the
present circumstances, but on the con
trary I,w o u ld accept It In fun con
science with the feeling that I was
contributing to save European civili
zation."
At that time Einateln was In Brus
sels, but It was reported a Nazi organ
ization had put him on Its death list,
so he fled to England and hid In a
cabin on the east coast provided for
him by Commander Oliver Locker-
Lampson.

3. Banish Bowel Faiigtn and the laxative habit
H e r e 's W h y t
Any hospital offers evidence of the
harm done by harsh laxatives that
drain the system, weaken the bowel
muscles, and in some cases even
affect the liver and kidneys.
A doctor will tel! you that the
unwise choice of laxatives is a com
mon cause of chronic constipation.
Fortunately, the public is fast
returning to the use of laxatives
in liquiaform.
A property prepared liquid laxa
tive brings a perfect movement.
There is no discomfort at the time
and no weakness after. You don't
have to take “a double dose'* a day
or two later.
In buying any laxative, alivayt
read the label. Not the claim*, but
the content*. If it contains one
doubtful drug, don’t take it.
Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is ■
prescriptional preparation in which
there are no mineral drugs. Its in
gredients are on the label. By using
it, yon avoid danger of bowel strain.
You can keep the bowels regular,
and comfortable; you can make
constipated spells as rare as colds.
The liq u id te s ti
This test has proved to many men
and women that their trouble was
not “ weak bowels", but strong
cathartics:
First. Select a good liquid laxa
tive. 2. Take the dose you find is
suited to your system. 3. Gradually
reduce the dose until bowels are
moving regularly without any need
of stimulation.
Syrup pepsin has the highest
standing among liquid laxatives,
and is the one generally used. I t
contains senna, a natural laxative
which is perfectly safe for the
oungest child. Y ou r druggist has
